- Minister believes insurgency can not be defeated overnight- Counsels Nigerians to be patient with the present administration- Reveals why citizens can expect more Boko haram attacks

The minister who dropped this bombshell during the town hall meeting at the Lagos city hall, stated that the insurgents have been totally defeated, but they will still continue to attack in small groups.
While addressing a gathering that included fellow minister, the Lagos
state deputy governor, Alhaja Idiat Oluwaranti Adebule, the former APC
spokesperson, stated that the level of insurgency explains why President
Muhammadu Buhari’s first trips were to beighbouring countries.

“His first trips were to rally the support of Benin, Chad, Cameroon
and Niger, then the G7, US, France, UN and these efforts have paid off.
“Boko Haram has been defeated as a result of the purposeful leadership of the president.
“No insurgency ends overnight, therefore, there will still be
attacks. This is not a surprise since they have been dispersed and have
melted into the society,” he said in his address.
Alhaji Mohammed added that all that is left now is the
reconstruction, resettlement and rehabilitation of the internally
displaced persons to return home.

As at the time of filing this report, the meeting was still going on
with the questions and answers session between the panelists and the
audience on the gains of the president’s recent trip to China, which
forms the thrust of the town hall meeting.
